As topic says, how can you identify a Neo turbocharger from the R34 GTT Neo, from a R33 GTSt turbocharger?

Ive got a top condition turbo sitting in front of me, meant to be off a R34 and therefore its a Neo turbo & actuator.

Actuator says 28 4 Z06A and ASN 79

Turbo says 45 V 2

back of turbo says 21 U

Had a lookover the turbo, getting a feel for its condition. Actually I reckon the turbo is in fantastic condition with harldy any shaftplay whatsoever. Got it from a forum member for a decent price, and was heaps easy to deal with.

The front turbine looks to be plastic, so thats what the Neo is, isnt it?

Hi yeah, the compressor wheels are supposedly nylon/plastic based and the R34 turbo's are the same as an R33 model (I think the series 2).

The R34 turbo I had in my grubby hands a little while ago had a black nylon compressor wheel and the turbine housing had stamped OP6 in 2 places. The width of the turbine housing behind the first turbine housing to chra bolt located just after the T3 flange was 50mm.

I've attached a pic where to measure.

21U I am 80% sure that is a R33 turbine housing, that is slightly smaller than the R34 turbine housing I had.

I heard that the R34 GTT turbo is slightly larger, has a plastic/nylon compressor wheel, and is a "wet" ball bearing design.

R33's apparently have a ceramic compressor wheel, and are not ball-bearing?

Feel free to correct me!

All are ball bearing, as all have ceramic turbines.

The R34 also having the 'plastic' compressor wheel.

I think the R33 SII also had a 'plastic' compressor wheel, unsure if it has the larger R34 turbine housing though.

i checked my old car's turbo, it was a 10/96 model r33 gtst and it definetly had a nylon compressor wheel.

It all looks the same, thanks for the different info guys, thats been extremely helpful. I'll check it over again tonight.

I'll measure it up to see if I get 50mm thickness, and Im sure it has got OP6 in a couple of places.

On one of those threads (for bass junky's sale of turbo) he's got 45V1, where as mine is stamped 45V2 and the pic from Jmac says 45V2 as well.

Hopefully what Ive got then IS the R34 Neo turbo. Just has a different stamp number on the actuator (large 28 rather than a large 29).

JMAC - that turbo youve got there - definately off the R34 GTT? Thats what mine looks like. Ive got to measure it up tonight.

Boy this is hard to determine! (without taking the current turbo in the engine off!)

siksII,

What was stamped on the turbine housing? OP6?

Sorry cubes, i honestly dont remember is was about 2 years ago, and the only picture i can find with the turbo in it u can only see the intake side and its too far away to see any detail either :P

But i remember checking the intake blades they were definetly some type of plastic. just by looking u cant really tell but when u touch them u can tell.

my current r33 has stock turbo, but is an earlier model than my old one, this one is an early 96 model(still series 2), i can have a look at the exhaust housing on this one (if i can see it properly!!!) and tell u what it says if you want?

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
